Proof of concept using the monster pack: Hopper Flower w/chest Orechid Flower Bore Spreader Drawbridge Transvector Dislocator optional toggle to make sure drawbridge stays powered. I don't recommend piping stone into the drawbridge without a way to specify the slot. It breaks the drawbridge...

Meh, I can live with it. They'll just serve a different purpose than the end all/be all essentia piping system.

I played with the Orechid version on git for a bit. It eats a lot of power but the range is good. Something like a 4 block radius. Automating it is going to be interesting. Harvesting all those ores in an efficient way is going to be fun. While I'd love to use the bore lense I still think you...

Hmm, that might solve some of my gripes about the bore lense if you can bring the ores to it.

I've noticed they only take water on the same level as them. I think the range is a 1 block radius around the flower. So something like this would work good. I've got a question about the new mana tablets. Do they follow despawn rules? With a lot of these botania systems needing thrown...

For destroying a water source block, those Hydragneas don't give very much power. And even with using just wood the Enderflames give quite a bit. I did some testing on making a movable mining platform using the bore lense. It's not very feasable just yet though. I'm feeding the water flowers...

So yes, having a block at the other end is the intended use. Just not the normal blocks. :D That seems to really limit the bore lense's use without some real trickery and thinking outside the box. Is there a way to stack lense effects? Something like that would allow combining the bore and...

Ho Ho.

Is that needed? There's a few ways around that. Doesn't rotary craft need moving water for the water wheels? Something like that may be better in the long run. If the flower doesn't eat sources unless they are adjacent, then even a vanilla infinite water source would defeat it?

I'm trying to figure out how to use the bore lense effectively. On it's own it breaks everything but obsidian. It also breaks Cobalt and Ardite. I think my problem is that it requires a mana holding block on the other end of the beam for it to even send out a block breaking pulse. Am I missing...

That wasn't by design? I thought it was purposeful to prevent automating the ability to get the higher level seeds.

I'm not sure how feasible it would be, can you pathfind to the surface and block off openings with smaller radii? It would suck a lot. Definitely an 'oh crap' moment.

I wouldn't mind seeing a few more eldritch creatures. The one shown in the vid is cool. I'd also like to see some tentacles, and maybe some eyeballs showing up on blocks surrounding the player as he moves (like a ghost in the wall scenario). You have one that eats lights, how about a different...

Ick, why would you use purposely put those crystals in a place where mobs show up? I am a big fan of the saturation crystal in the middle of my working area though. I love that thing.

If you are using 4.1 then use mirrors to separate your jars from the alter. http://i.imgur.com/3MW22oY.png

I think the cheat sheet might be needed for some of the hidden research now. I upgraded after having scanned the majority of the world and I'm missing the mirrors still. And like Veggetossj said, tips and tricks for understanding and efficiency. But the 4.0 cheat sheet was INVALUABLE if you...

Everytime I think of getting lava from the nether I can't get over the fact that I'll eventually have to move the pump. I decided to use fiendish bees instead. Hive->Centrifuge->squeezer->Geothermal. On top of the geothermal is a macerator and igneous extruder pumping sand into the squeezer...

I love using golems in enclosed systems. Setup a room for processing or a mob farm, wall it up and forget it exists. Golems can stick items into nearly anything. Including tesseracts.

You can always use an isolator to grab the traits you want and stick them into a healthy bee? The extra bee machines save hours upon hours of breeding work for me.

I went 4k block radius around our spawn and still didn't find a desert. Twilight Forest eventually came to my rescue with a cyan ram. :D
